Minister of Police Affairs Jelili Adesiyan has tacitly admitted that there was an encounter between several top officials of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and a senior military officer who was badgered to intimidate members of the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) in order to ensure victory for the PDP in the Ekiti State governorship election.

SaharaReporters had exclusively released the audiotape of a heated session where PDP members, including (now) Governor Ayo Fayose, Mr. Adesiyan, former Minister of State for Defense, Musiliu Obanikoro, and Senator Iyiola Omisore ordered Brigadier General A.A. Momoh to order troops under his control to arrest and detain APC members in a plot to guarantee victory for Mr. Fayose.

After our disclosure, both Governor Fayose and Mr. Obanikoro denied the authenticity of the tape, with Mr. Obanikoro threatening to sue SaharaReporters.

But in an interview with Sunday Punch newspaper, Mr. Adesiyan admitted that the encounter took place, even though he tried to lessen the criminal nature of the exchanges by claiming that the meeting was to persuade the officer to release some detained PDP agents. In addition, the minister stated that the atmosphere became charged when Mr. Fayose accused the military officer of taking a bribe from then Governor Kayode Fayemi.

Sunday Punch reported that the Police Affairs Minister “admitted that there was a conversation but it was at a scene in Ado-Ekiti, when Fayose and the General engaged in an altercation which almost resulted in a fight.”

According to the minister, the near physical fight happened after some people at the meeting accused Brigadier General Momoh of being bribed by Governor Kayode Fayemi and the All Progressives Congress. The accusation “led to a heated argument between [the general] and Fayose,” Sunday Punch reported.

The paper reported Mr. Adesiyan as stating, “Nigerians are not dummies. These people are mischievous; somebody recorded the scene but let everybody listen to it. Listen to it yourself and get back to me.

“Fayose accused the General who supervised the Ekiti election of taking bribe from Fayemi and APC, that was two days before the election. They called me because they said the General disarmed policemen and I told him to allow the policemen to do their job.

“I was there, Fayose was there, Otunba Omisore was there, Senator Obanikoro was there. I am not denying that there was a conversation but it was not what they are saying.”

Hehehehe...
God don de open their mouth.
Fayose denied ever having conversation with anyone and so did obanikoro. And now we have this minister confessing there was a conversation, but not what is contained in the tape. Again, he confirmed all the people caught on the tape were part of the conversation. Ok! We're getting there....
Fayose must go to prison.

Small Small e go clear...n wen d typhoon blows, we sure wouldnt want to see what we wl c!

The miliatry has been bastardized. Imagine the "bloody civilian" of Fayose arguing with a General.
Jonathan will sack this Minister.

may God bless sahara reporters, I will visit your office in New York September when am in the state again, one love I love you guys so much

Fayose the liar.

GENERAL MARCH 4 BUHARI !!!

In Bob Marley's words..
You can fool some of the people all of the time,
You can fool all of the people some of the time,
But you cannot fool all of the people, all of the time!
..The truth will always come to light.

Why won't he say this after losing out in the primaries to Fayose and a juicy position under GEJ that he resigned from.

The honest truth is that the SW play bitter politics just like the way they conduct their lives.

I know this man indirectly and I can tell you that throughout his tenure as minister he never helped any body from Ekiti nor was his presence felt as minister back in Ekiti, then how in God's name does he think he could win even the ticket talk less of the governorship election.

Fayose had and still has a very strong and visible presence on his constituency especially within the grass roots.

All this allegations of rigging are rubish and the so called leaked tapes is a last ditch effort for tinubu to salvage his already bruised ego. Tinubu knows he is quickly losing ground politically in the southwest. Ondo keeps rejecting him, Ekiti people saw the hypocrisy and deciet in the APC with the Fayemi administration. Oyo is not going to go the way of the APC. Same with Ogun. Lagos is also slipping out of Tinubu's kleptomaniac grip only that mumu enclave Oun is Tinubu still waxing strong and this is because the Osun people are really xenophobic and going by WAEC scores since 1999, the daftest state south of the Niger.

In conclusion most Nigerian politicians are vindictive and jealousy lot who can't accept defeat.

I won't be suprised off this desperado is trying to pitch his tent on a drowning APC ship.

You are fool.

The constituion has the Governor as a recognized office what position does a hired security staff enjoy over an elected official?

You people are really dunces.

What does it take to get a commission into the Nigeian Army? Do you need 3 heads?


This is how you people are slowly willingly relinquishing your freedom.

Plebeian dunce.

Fayose said no such meeting took place.
Minister of police affairs says the meeting took place but not for what was alleged.
With this alone,I dont need a soothsayer to tell me Ekiti election was rigged. Q.E.D

Pls what were they saying. .."we have to be seen as fair even tho we are trying to achieve a certain outcome"...

Do you think you're making any sense?! As at the time of the Ekiti Governorship Election, was Fayose a Governor?! If you can't answer, then you're the biggest fool.

Adesinya is a bitter man.

He is a politician and all of you must not forget this.

This is the problem of our current democracy which rewards party politicians with appointments and very few slots are left for technocrats.

This is why Nigerian politics is seen as a reward system.

Adesinya wants to eat and he will do anything to eat.

So are military officers not answerable to authority?

I will let you know that even the COAS is answerable to te minister of state for defense, senate committee on defense, etc.

Those denying it are mere jokers,thinking that Nigerians are fools,in a good democratic setting,Obanikoro should be disqualified as a ministerial nominee,and others made to face the music.

Ekiti rigging tape is authentic — Police Minister

[img]http://media.premiumtimesng.com/wp-content/files/2015/02/460x334xJELILI-ADESIYAN.jpg.pagespeed.ic.mOygA1XLpS.webp[/img]

Contrary to the blatant denial of former Minister of State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro, and the Governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose, that they were involved in a meeting where strategies for rigging the 2014 Ekiti State governorship election were discussed, the Minister of Police Affairs, Jelili Adesiyan, who was also at the meeting, has admitted that the meeting actually took place.

A recording of the meeting, which also featured other top officials of the government and Aliyu Momoh, a Brigadier General, was leaked last week.
Mr. Adesiyan, however, said the conversation in the leaked tape was an altercation between Mr. Fayose and Mr. Momoh after the former accused the later of being bribed by the then incumbent governor of the state, Kayode Fayemi.

“Fayose accused the General who supervised the Ekiti election of taking bribe from Fayemi and APC, that was two days before the election. They called me because they said the General disarmed policemen and I told him to allow the policemen to do their job,” he told the Sunday Punch newspaper.

“I was there, Fayose was there, Otunba Omisore was there, Senator Obanikoro was there. I am not denying that there was a conversation but it was not what they are saying.

“Nigerians are not dummies. These people are mischievous; somebody recorded the scene but let everybody listen to it. Listen to it yourself and get back to me.”

Mr. Obanikoro had denied that he was part of any meeting to rig the election.

“Whatever they are spreading within the social media, is something that APC made up. There is nowhere in the world you will find me talking about rigging an election anywhere in the country,” he said during an interview on Rhythm FM.

When the leaked audio was played back for him during the programme, Mr. Obanikoro replied that the recording showed someone was complaining about the plan of the APC to rig the election.

“The recording did not say I have manipulated any result from what I have listened to, rather, from what you have played is someone shouting at someone who is co-operating and collaborating with APC and trying to frustrate something.

“What that is, I don’t know, but from what I have heard, somebody shouting out loudly telling the other person that you are working with somebody else other than me, that’s what I could hear,” he said.

On his part, Mr. Fayose said his voice and that of other people in the recording was manipulated using speech software such as Natural Voices.
“Nigerians should be reminded of how the APC people lied in 2007 that they recorded how the governorship election was rigged even in the palace of the Ewi of Ado-Ekiti, Oba Rufus Adejugbe, but the party could not produce a single photo evidence at the tribunal because their plan to do what is known as Morphing and Synthesis was exposed.

“Nigerians should also be reminded of the existence of a technology called speech software, which is good at reproducing the sounds, inflections and intonations of a human voice. The APC that we all know is a party of crooks, who are capable of doing anything, no matter how criminal to achieve its aim,” a statement by his media aide, Idowu Adelusi, read.

Similarly, the police minister, Mr. Adesiyan, said the recording is another devious move by the All Progressive Congress, APC, to discredit the victory of Mr Fayose after their previous attempts failed.

“In order to set the record straight, we say emphatically that the offensive YouTube (audio) was unfounded and meant to hoodwink the unwary and portray the PDP and its leaders across the South West in a bad light.

“How did Omisore and those mentioned in the YouTube (audio) rig election when all the stakeholders in Ekiti voted for Fayose? Initially, the APC claimed it was stomach infrastructure that won the people’s mandate for Fayose. When that would not fly, they say it was photo-chromic rigging.

“Now, it is army and police who were coordinated to rig for Fayose, what balderdash!”
